Art is beautiful and for many an important part of the home. The world of today is very electronically advanced, so much that even the art is this way. Custom portrait painting from photo is a new way. To have gorgeous expressive creations that decorate and improve the style of your home. If you appreciate art this is the next best thing.

Many may know of this art but not in detail, particularly if they are not in the industry. It is the sort of art that is created using a computer. All the supplies an artist requires are on a program, this includes brushes, colors, shapes and many more. So beautiful forms are created and then they are transferred from the PC screen to an appropriate material.

It is different from the painting created by hand in that a human hand is not capable of creating perfects shapes and repeat them without flaws. On the other hand, a computer can do this without struggling. The artist can just issue the same commands as before to the computer and it will reproduce the same shape as before. So you will be able to see work that was done with the free hand and work that is computer done.

Other than flawlessness and utter perfection, another bonus of using a computer is being able to undo what you have done. You can attempt a few strokes and undo them if you don t like how they look, then you can try again using different colors. This is very different from when you are using the free hand. A stroke is a stroke, you can not change it or remove it. You have to replace your entire canvas and start from the very beginning.

The artists who do this kind of artform are about adding the outside elements into their art pieces. This is done by taking actual pictures of things that the artist would like to be part of the piece they are creating. The picture is taken and then edited into your piece, this usually looks very beautiful and blends in well. With the correct editing programs, you too can create something this great.

There is a way to produce pieces that closely resemble those that were created using the free hand. It can be hard to distinguish between the traditional and the computer created one. This is because while you are still using a computer, you are still using your hand. No formulas are used just a program with brushes and similar tools. Doing this makes it look different and great. This is known as raster.

The vector is known as a style where shapes are used as part of the art piece. The artist gets to choose shapes or draw them by hand still using the computer. Thereafter the shapes are changed and switched up to create a more meaningful piece. You might not even really recognize the shapes once they have been put to good use.

Whether you are an artist or just an admirer this is something to look into. There are some fine pieces you can purchase for your own interest but as an artist, you can give this way of doing things a shot.
